S.E. Skinner & Sons to host free activity group to combat loneliness in Brighton

The programme was created to help individuals and local communities manage loneliness and support people so that loneliness is better understood and overcome. The Never Alone programme offers information and guidance on how to reduce feelings of loneliness, including emotional and practical support, wellbeing advice and access to local services and groups.

Meet like-minded people in the local community where you can spend time with others who share your interests and spend time making friends over a cup of tea at the free monthly Never Alone activity group at S.E. Skinner & Sons, 145 Lewes Road, Brighton from 10am to 1pm.

According to a spokesperson: “Speaking with attendees at these Never Alone groups illustrates the power of social prescribing in addressing loneliness.”

A member of the Never Alone group in Eastbourne shares his views on the group: “I think the greatest benefit is that it creates a safe space. People are going through a difficult time emotionally, now we have somewhere we can come and be with other people who are going through similar feelings. There’s an understanding and a sense of belonging which is quite powerful.”

As a 10th generation family-run funeral directors, C.P.J. Field experiences first-hand the impact of loneliness and is passionate about serving and supporting charities and initiatives within the community and is proud to play an active role in communities it serves.

Details of the C.P.J. Field Never Alone activity group below are: Second Tuesday of every month, from 10am to 1pm at S.E. Skinner & Sons, 145 Lewes Road, Brighton, BN2 3LG.
